Did you wake up this morning? Was there breath in your lungs? Good. That's a start. God has seen fit to give you another day. Another chance to face the world. As a Veteran, I can personally attest to how rough some days can be. Some mornings it feels like the whole world is against you and that even just the simple task of getting out of bed isn't even worth it. PSALM 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." Have you been through hell and back? More than likely. So now you're a civilian. Be thankful and rejoice! Go out there and kick some butt! God has granted you a second chance in life, a chance to live your life in peace. Don't squander it. LIVE! LOVE! LAUGH! You can be miserable, if you choose. However that's not fun. It's not helpful to anyone either. Not your family, friends, co-workers and especially yourself. Now, I am not saying go out there and be an annoying ray of sunshine that drives everyone bonkers. I'm saying, try and face the world with a motivated and positive attitude. That you're going to accomplish as much as possible each and everyday. As Veterans, we know how precious life is, and that every second counts. Don't waste them. Are there going to be days that are just horrific and volatile? Of course. But those days will pass. The Bible tells us how to handle these things; John 16:33 I have said these things to you, thatin me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” AND Psalm 50:15 " and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” So strap on your boots, grab your pack and move out! Oscar Mike! (thats military lingo for ' On the Move' for you Civi's out there) God Bless and CYH
